Here is where we got the Pollen trap: tinyurl.com/y9rkw4s8 It also is a screened bottom board and can help eliminate Small Hive beetles! Our favorite hivetool and books from Amazon can be found here: www.amazon.com/shop/tennessees-bees
Y’all 2 are cool as a box fan! So glad to see how y’all do things and all the great things you teach greenhorns like me. Thanks a lot for sharing your wealth of knowledge about beekeeping!!
@ShinRaPresident humans dude humans,10 essential amino acids and protein and carbs even .. . actually it WAS Scientific,it was a study how scientist can't replicate Real Pollen it's too elaborate
@ShinRaPresident Alright man, I was just saying I saw it as an interesting fact in case of a dyer situation for humans to survive..Make NO mistake I'm not an illiterate Beekeeper,I'm fully aware of the needs of the bees , I wasn't talking about bees at all living off pollen only.Bees can't live off of only one pollen anyway,at least not thrive.It don't take a Brainiac to know bees need nectar as well, even non Beekeepers know that....I'm done with this retarded conversation
The weather up north is finally nice and consistent as well.. I have my second boxes on just in time too my 3 hives exploded this amazing..I really want to thank you for your efforts to give useful information on TH-cam for those of us who pay attention the info goes a long way to help a beginner like me have early success so again thank you and laurel to of course...😂
Hey I'm just a novelist beekeeper but my family were great apiarist so I'm from a long lines of beekeepers and they told me it's the queen circle supersedes that when the hive is doing bad a supersedure cell is formed after the queen lays in the center of the frame and swarm cells when the hive is doing great and becoming too crowded! Thanks for all your wisdom though my family are all too old to really teach me properly so you've helped me out! From an fallow inspiring apiarist!
First timer here. Hived my pkg a week ago (using the Apimaye Ergo Plus setup + ML wooden frames w/foundation) here in NW Montana. It's been fun watching the entrance ... 3 holes open, seeing a lot activity on sunny days and bees going in with pollen. Attempted 1st inspection yesterday ... verified queen was released and removed the queen cage. Inner frames very busy with bees literally clinging together like ants when I pulled them out (normal?). Comb being drawn. One of the top feeders was empty, the other still had quite a bit of syrup yet. Outermost frames had nothing going on at all ... I assume because the colony is young and it's only been a week, plus the weather has been on the cooler side. I was unable to spot the queen and the wind was kicking up, making smoking a PITA, so I cut it short and closed the hive back up and will try again next weekend. I expect this will be a slow process until our weather improves ... we have rain on tap this week. Anyone have some advice on how to easily spot the queen? I see Kamon has his marked - that's cool! How do they do that? This is all new to me...
At some point, please post a video on queen banking. I don't produce many queens, but when I do I often don't need them....and when I need them, I don't have any.
Queen excluders are a tool many people do not understand or misuse. I use them, never seen a reduction in honey in the supers. One point to mention to new users, if you do what was shown, adding an Excluder and splitting the brood nest, come back in 6 or 7 days and inspect those frames above the excluder. Many times the bees get confused and start emergency Queen cells. Inspect and tear them down. Another good video Laurel and Kamon. 👍🏻
Kamon, don’t give up buddy. I’ve learned so much watching your videos along with two or three other keepers. One thing I really like is the fact that you never run down other keepers and the practices they use. I’m just in the middle of my first winter and yesterday I took a look and I’ve got plenty of bees wintering. I have actually unsubscribe people who talk negative about other keepers. I don’t have time for people who think they know it all. Keep up the good work!
HI, Kamon - I was in one of my nucs today and noticed tons of dropped pollen on the screened bottom board. Do they go back and pick that up and use it?
This is why I would recommend putting the new hive on the bottom. It would simulate a standing log as they would naturally have to expand down since they start drawing from the top to begin with. In this way all the bees also have to go past undrawn frames which might stimulate the need to start drawing.
i once saw a video a guy on here made where he did experiments with a hive, he put an egg in an open q cell to see if the bees attended to it and they did and they raised a virgin, he also as an experiment placed a drone egg in a q cell, the bees moved it and every time he did it they shifted that drone egg, so they know the difference between the eggs. he was trying to get a drone egg to be raised as a queen with the royal jelly but the bees were way to smart for that.
I like how you face the hives away from you toward the barn. So they don’t need a larger front facing entrance or I assume they way you put it is the way I need to think.
Could you please explain how you are able to walk around freely without being stung? Some of us are able to freak out when just ONE bee gets 10 feet away...lol. Thanks....and great video!
Kamon, have you tried any other types of pollen collectors? Have you tried Ross Rounds? Any luck/tips with those? I’ve tried for 2yrs now and still haven’t had any luck getting the bees to draw it out.
Thanks for the reply and keep up the great vids! I’m waiting on some JZBZ stuff to try grafting for the first time. Kelley’s Bees are being really slow in getting orders out right now 😔
I have a very small nuc that was started with a queen cell. I am seeing eggs that are not standing up and are off to the side of the cell. What could be going on? I've not seen this before and it don't look normal to me. Thanks for the videos.
Hey Kamon, Thanks for an informative video. I have kind of an open-ended question for you. i have a queen in one of my colonies who is super productive.The brood fames she lays up are pretty much all brood, side-to-side and top to bottom. This is different from the rainbow patter that I am used to. I’m happy to have all the brood to make splits but am wondering if there is a downside to this kind of pattern. The hive has plenty of food so that is not a concern as far as I can tell. Stu
Just means she is exceptional and she must be getting alot of nutrition from the attendants to stimulate max laying output! The only downside is try to keep ahead of a queen like that during a big honey flow!
After installing the excluder what will happen in the upper two brood boxes as time moves on? I have seen other experienced beekeepers recommend only one brood box. Since I am a newbie and only started a hive I was leaning in that direction. Pros/cons?
There are different styles of hive management, but unless you are running giant colonies and leaving them lots of honey for the dearths, keeping them in a single brood box except just before and during peak nectar flow tends to keep the hives healthier and more stable, because one brood box is about the perfect size for a winter cluster of bees, and if you give them more than that, they have to work harder to condition and protect that extra space. When it's warm and there's resources flowing, they can do fine with extra space, but if you only give them additional brood space when they are actually needing that space, and only give them as many supers as they actually need, and remove what they don't need any more, they can stay in better condition, and your equipment does too, because excess space is perfect for beatles and wax moths and such to move into, even if bees are in the other part of the hive.
Kamon, Awesome video! Are bees disciplined in the sources for pollen? It would appear that they are do to the distinct colors, thanks for your continued dedication to provide these videos, they have been a tremendous help.
Got the Apimaye hybrid set-ups from your link. 1.When I reorder, do I need to go back to your page for you to get "credit" or got to "my orders" on Amazon and reorder? 2. Do you not run the feeders as inner covers? 3. What was your second bee book on Audible? As an otr driver, this definitely helps the hours go by easier. Maybe we'll run into each other out here someday. Hopefully you'll be in Big Red! Thanks.
Mark thanks buddy. How Amazon works is if you click our link anything and everything you buy from them in 24 hours sends a small percentage from all the items towards our channel (it does not charge anyone extra). Yes Mark I do run them as inner covers but I took them off before the video and forgot to put them back on before we started. I do wish the feeders were a little bigger. They are half a gallon each.
Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees Thanks for taking the time to answer❤️ I keep bees and a friend of mine does as well. While she was out of town she asked me to collect the pollen out of the traps I said I could keep it. It was wonderful
Hey Kamon I have some comb that the honey has soured in it can I give it back to the bees will they clean it out or do I need to discard it? Thanks for your video’s they help a lot.
hi my name is John from Southern California, I caught a swarm on May 18, 2020 in my tree in the front yard. When could I take them down from the tree in my front yard and put them in my back yard, I have a place in my back yard where I could put the swarm I caught.
Pollen trap looks like a good “Murder Hornet” (cue: theme from Jaws”) excluder. But........then.........hornets get hungry, go lookin for protein, spot a tiny, but meaty beekeeper (music gets louder).
Have you read anything about alpha bees making the swarming decision and running the queen around to lose weight? I can't remember where I saw that!! Body builder, is that what you call lifting 10 frame boxes all day, lol. Thanks for the incubator I love it, emailed the guy and haven't heard back but I like the idea of an incubator with room for the whole frame.
We are newbees to this and accidentally trapped our queen in a med honey super that had only plastic foundation and in 9 days they drew out and filled everything to the point of swarm cells (I think) so maybe we stumbled onto something.
Hey Kamon, thanks for another great and informative video! We’re starting out with a couple Apimaye hives using plastic frames with 100% beeswax coated plastic foundation. Our hives have drawn out the middle 4 frames pretty well, but they seem to have just kinda stopped at that. They’ve been bringing in a lot of pollen (no trap on yet) and we’re still feeding. Should we watch and wait, now that the weather has warmed up; or should we try alternating drawn frames with foundation frames to get them to start drawing those out? Also, we’re about 4 hours east of you here in Tennessee, should we keep feeding our new bees if the weather is warm like it is? Thank you!
How the queens laying? The queen should be filling up the cells and the feed or nectar should force the bees to create more combs as there is no where to stick it due to her laying up the whats available.
Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees Thanks for the reply!. Our queens are laying really well. But she can only lay a few frames because that’s all that’s drawn out. In our first hive we have 3.5 frames of brood and one frame with mostly syrup; the first 4 frames are untouched. Our second hive is pretty new but they’re off to a pretty good start. We have a couple frames of brood but a lot of burr comb (probably because we kept forgetting to put the 10th frame in).
I'm a newbee in need of advice. I'm in Florida and I have only two hives. I'm running single deeps and the queen has put brood (including drones) in the super on one hive. I am going to put an excluder on that hive and add an upper entrance so the drones can get out. Is this the right way to go and will the frame (s) that had brood later be usable for honey? The other hive is doing fine ,no brood in the super and i'm about to add a second super to it.
@@kamonreynolds yes thank you I heard it at the end of the video but I'd already asked the question. Love your videos by the way you have taught me so much about my bees.. and I tried to get on your chats every time I'm available and help answer questions and learn more stuff
Incoming nectar gets stored in comb , and then the queen has nowhere to lay - plus its smack dab in the middle of swarm season. Swarms tend to leave a colony with lots of food, brood, and young bees. So a hive with lots of food, brood, and bees, but nowhere for the queen to lay - in April and May especially - is a swarm waiting to happen.
Wax reusing you have to clean wax.. 121 degres heat 1 atm pressure 15 minutes kill all sort virusus American or Europe fall brode..use All American Pressure Canner or Chinese models..
Can anybody give me a tip on how to get a colony that refused a queen, to accept a queen now 3 weeks to a month later. I put in a frame of eggs and larvae once every two weeks with no change and the bees that are in there are fairly old now as they haven't had a queen and a couple months.

What’s the shelve life for the pollen
@@bradgreenwald1638 It must be frozen or dehydrated for it to last anytime at all. It can last a long time doing both of those.
Thank you for sharing how to trap pollen and some tips for beekeeping you are truly awesome and helpful^^

That actually happened to me this year. Found two above the excluder and tore them down.
Great video. talking about what you want to see on frame, nectar, pollen and where, etc. Golden info for newer beekpr.

HI, Kamon - I was in one of my nucs today and noticed tons of dropped pollen on the screened bottom board. Do they go back and pick that up and use it?
I enjoy your little backhanded comment about bumping the hive with the smoker
Nice Video, glad your nectar flow is back on!
Haha It was good for about 2 days now the forecast for the next 10 is 1 day free of showers hopefully they are wrong!
I'm glad you got some better weather!
I wish my bees would watch your videos. They seem to be a little hard headed sometimes lol
We've had the same crazy weather. We are very behind. Thanks for the information.

Some beautiful pollen!
Great video Kamon! You should do a separate one for the excluder tricks.
I like how you face the hives away from you toward the barn. So they don’t need a larger front facing entrance or I assume they way you put it is the way I need to think.
They do great like that!
Again question answered. Oh that's why they are not drawing where they do. Thanks great Job
At 11:07 while we were viewing the queen - is that a queen cell on the bottom bar with a bee attending to it?
Yes it is!! good catch
Great info as always. Many Blessings!
Could you please explain how you are able to walk around freely without being stung? Some of us are able to freak out when just ONE bee gets 10 feet away...lol. Thanks....and great video!

Thank you at yours experience
I’ve wondered if these traps shorten the life of the worker bee. Your thoughts?
Maybe by a tiny amount but even without the trap bees drop pollen on accident everyday. I don't think this wears them out too much
Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees Thanks for taking the time to answer❤️ I keep bees and a friend of mine does as well. While she was out of town she asked me to collect the pollen out of the traps I said I could keep it. It was wonderful
Can a pollen trap be used as a temporary robbing deterrent?
Hey Kamon I have some comb that the honey has soured in it can I give it back to the bees will they clean it out or do I need to discard it? Thanks for your video’s they help a lot.
Do not feed bees fermented honey it’s not good for their stomach and will kill them with dysentery
steven clark maybe make mead out of it
Thanks for the info
I like that Virginia Creeper on that barn.
I wonder if they start reusing wax from other frames when they need to make comb, but do not have enough nectar.

Do you or have you clipped your queens wing?
I haven't ever clipped a queen myself
The queens I got in the nucs I bought from you are much darker than that one. Are they carni or Italian
mostly carni but they will have some italian too
Why did my queen disappear from one of my hives it was a marked queen from a nuk I bought
Never heard "now that nectar is flowing we need to watch for more swarming". Please explain this comment.
Incoming nectar gets stored in comb , and then the queen has nowhere to lay - plus its smack dab in the middle of swarm season. Swarms tend to leave a colony with lots of food, brood, and young bees. So a hive with lots of food, brood, and bees, but nowhere for the queen to lay - in April and May especially - is a swarm waiting to happen.

You might have luck combining it with another colony. There are quite a few videos on combines
Take the home from the hive with a hive tool and let it dribble on the queen
